TODD MOELLENBERG
Todd Moellenberg is a pianist and multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Notable performances include the work of Julius Eastman and Pierre Boulez with Monday Evening Concerts, a solo recital as Emerging Artist with Piano Spheres, Ligeti’s Piano Concerto with the Palimpsest Ensemble, Grisey’s Vortex Temporum with the What’s Next? Ensemble, and as keyboardist in Charles Ives’ Symphony No. 4 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel. His performance of Stockhausen’s Kontakte with People Inside Electronics was praised by the Los Angeles Times for its “striking virtuosity and theatricality.” He has worked closely in premiering and recording works by Chaya Czernowin, Thomas Meadowcroft, Yiheng Yvonne Wu, Xavier Beteta, and Roger Reynolds, with albums released by Sideband, Petrichor, and Deutsche Grammophon. He completed his DMA in contemporary piano performance at UC San Diego, where he studied with Aleck Karis. His dissertation, “Time and Again,” demonstrates how the work of Ravel and Jean Barraqué can generate poetic forms and structures for durational performance. |
